I'm a Canadian citizen and I've been living in the UK with a

Customer Question

Hi!I'm a Canadian citizen and I've been living in the UK with a student visa for 6 years (medical school) and a Tier 2 visa for 4 years and 11months . My visa expires mid -August, 2 weeks short of the 10yr residency requirement. I've fully completed my medical training now. My next job is happy to sponsor me but it will take time for them to be able to do so. Will I lose my residency eligibility whilst waiting for the new visa? Should I apply for a Youth Mobility Visa whilst waiting? Am I allowed to, or am I required to leave the country in the meantime? For how long?Thanks!

P.S: How long does it normally take for the new job to get their sponsor right to be allowed?

Hello,I've been working hard to find a Professional to assist you with your question, but sometimes finding the right Professional can take a little longer than expected.I wonder whether you're ok with continuing to wait for an answer. If you are, please let me know and I will continue my search. If not, feel free to let me know and I will cancel this question for you.Thank you!Nicola

Hello,I apologise as we have not yet been able to find a Professional to assist you. Do you wish for me to continue to search for someone to assist you or would you like for us to close your question at this time?Thank you for your patience,Nicola

i am afraid you have not answered my previous question in which I asked that if you are under Tier 2,then when did you leave your job, because earlier you alluded that you are no longer with your current employer.

Applications being considered 28 days or less before the required qualifying period is completed

You can grant an application if it is considered 28 days or less before the applicant completes the required qualifying period, provided they meet all the other rules for long residence.

To apply for Tier 5 Youth Mobility, you need to return to Canada.

For your new employer to become licenced, I am afraid I cannot give a timescale on how long it takes as it depends on the organisation size and nature. But on average it can take 2-4 months for the sponsor license application.
